Before Fury Road, when meme-making and FB were in their infancy, socialists and various other subhuman filth would claim that Mad Max was what you get from Libertarianism - collapse, waste, a reversion to the mean of poverty.
But they always forgot the premise - the Mad Max world exists because authority became too large, too powerful, and ultimately annihilated itself; in part, if you understand how power works, because there was not enough liberty left to the citizens.
As for this Furiosa pre-quel, well, I guess we shall see. I remain skeptical of all these reboots and remakes of good ideas from the past.
I think alot of these woke commentators have barely watched the movies they claim to understand, or in worse cases, the movies they are hired to remake. They don't understand the material.
I think the Furiosa prequel turned out really well. Miller is out to tell a good story, and it shows.
Miller obviously had many storylines going on in his head. Hemsworth was spectacular. I was leery about Anna Taylor-Joy, but by the end, I was convinced that she was perfect for the role.
Miller is just a great storyteller. His very serious content is layered with the absurdly comical. Action of course. Cinematography. Conceptualization.
Great essay-interesting slant on interpretation. I always thought they were Theatre of the Absurd, poking fun at the conventional take on post-Apocalyptic society.
Thank you! I agree, they are definitely Absurd, especially MM3: Beyond Thunderdome. But I think Miller at the same time does a good job tying some theme into the satire.
I hope you like it. Even without all the theme it’s straight up a great action movie. It’s not trying to be a comedy, but it’s so over the top the only reaction is to just laugh.

Furiosa was better than expected.

I've always loved all the Mad Max movies.
I never fully watched the one you're talking of saw part of it. Now I'm going to have to really watch it!

The fact that Mad Max was created by a *doctor* speaks volumes about the people in charge of people's health.
